The refractive index of flint glass is 1.6, approx. This means that the speed of light in flint glass is 1/1.6 of its speed in vacuum. This makes it 187,380,000 metres per second.

What occurs when light passes from water into a flint glass?

When light passes from water into a flint glass, it undergoes refraction due to the change in optical density between the two mediums. The bending of light at the water-glass interface is caused by the difference in the speed of light in each medium, leading to a change in the light's direction.

How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?

The speed of light in glass is the reciprocal of the refractive index of the glass or 1/(refractive index). Not all glass is the same: its refractive index can range from less than 1.5 for Pyrex (a borosilicate glass) to more than 1.9 for (impure) flint glass. This means the speed of light in glass can range between 0.52 and 0.68 of its speed in vacuum.

When the flint is struck by the steel, it creates sparks which can be directed at the tinder, and cause it to light, thus starting your fire.

What is the speed of light through a solid?

The speed of light through a solid will depend on its refractive index. Water ice has a refractive index (RI) of 1.31 and so light will travel at a speed of 228,850,000 metres per second. Germanium has a RI approx 4 and so the speed of light is 74,950,000 metres per second. Then there are opaque solids and the speed of light through these is 0.
